The health of your skin is at stake, and it’s due to diverted skin care products that are currently sitting on your bathroom counter, in your shower and within hands reach of all your family members including your children.

The truly disturbing fact is that you may have purchased diverted products without even knowing it. Often times, they are found on the Internet or even in your local grocery or drug store.

Products are classified as “diverted” when they have been  purchased by an unauthorized retailer from an authorized Dermalogica skin treatment center or spa for resale. These products are often sold for a measurable savings/discount.

They’re putting you at risk

The actions of businesses that divert products are putting consumers worldwide at risk.

Based upon independent lab testing, diverted products have been proven to be expired, stolen, counterfeit, and/or contaminated.  “That means consumers everywhere are putting something that’s potentially harmful, unsafe and definitely less effective on their skin,” says Dermalogica founder Jane Wurwand.  “The availability of product that’s lacking integrity concerns me not only as a manufacturer but as a consumer.

The efficacy of Dermalogica products is only guaranteed when purchased from an authorized Dermalogica skin treatment center and/or a Dermalogica trained skin therapist.  This same Dermalogica guarantee won’t be found when purchasing from a retailer who’s selling diverted products.

What can I do?

Dermalogica has launched a strong campaign to put a stop to diversion by encouraging spas, salons and skin treatment centers to take an active role in reporting those who participate in diversion.

As a consumer, the only way you can be secure and  confident in your skin care product purchases is when you buy from an authorized retailer. Keep in mind that Dermalogica only sells to skin care professionals – never to discount Internet websites, drug stores or mass retail outlets.
